Hi there,

 

I am making some modded armour that gives the player a potion effect whilst worn. Multiple tutorials (which I imagine are outdated, unless I am making an error here) suggest using "onArmorTick". My question is, does this method still exist, and if not, how else can I implement this feature?

Here is my modded armour class;

 

package com.izzymandias.AttackOfTheMushroomsMod.items.armor;

import com.izzymandias.AttackOfTheMushroomsMod.lists.ItemList;

import net.minecraft.entity.LivingEntity;
import net.minecraft.inventory.EquipmentSlotType;
import net.minecraft.item.ArmorItem;
import net.minecraft.item.IArmorMaterial;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.potion.EffectInstance;
import net.minecraft.potion.Effects;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class spore_leather_boots extends ArmorItem {

	public spore_leather_boots(IArmorMaterial materialIn, EquipmentSlotType slot, Properties builder) {
		super(materialIn, slot, builder);		
	}
	public void onArmorTick(World world, LivingEntity entity, ItemStack itemStack) {
		ItemStack boots = entity.getItemStackFromSlot(EquipmentSlotType.FEET);
		if(boots.getItem() == ItemList.spore_leather_boots) {
			EffectInstance statusEffect = new EffectInstance(Effects.SPEED, 40, 0);
			entity.addPotionEffect(statusEffect);
		}
	}
}

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Ah, I did some searching and found it, cheers.

 

Just for future reference (for anyone who's been googling around trying to find it) your class must not only "extends ArmorItem" but also "implements IForgeItem." Then, the order of onArmorTicks' properties is (Itemstack, World, PlayerEntity)

 

Here's my code

package com.izzymandias.AttackOfTheMushroomsMod.items.armor;

import com.izzymandias.AttackOfTheMushroomsMod.lists.ItemList;

import net.minecraft.entity.MobEntity;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.PlayerEntity;
import net.minecraft.inventory.EquipmentSlotType;
import net.minecraft.item.ArmorItem;
import net.minecraft.item.IArmorMaterial;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.potion.EffectInstance;
import net.minecraft.potion.Effects;
import net.minecraft.util.ActionResult;
import net.minecraft.util.ActionResultType;
import net.minecraft.util.Hand;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.common.extensions.IForgeItem;

public class spore_leather_boots extends ArmorItem implements IForgeItem{

	public spore_leather_boots(IArmorMaterial materialIn, EquipmentSlotType slot, Properties builder) {
		super(materialIn, slot, builder);		
	}
	@Override
	public void onArmorTick(ItemStack itemStack, World world, PlayerEntity entity) {
		ItemStack boots = entity.getItemStackFromSlot(EquipmentSlotType.FEET);
		if(boots.getItem() == ItemList.spore_leather_boots) {
			EffectInstance statusEffect = new EffectInstance(Effects.SPEED, 40, 0);
			entity.addPotionEffect(statusEffect);
		}
	}
}

 

So would implementing Item would work the same for this purpose as implementing IForgeItem would?

Okay; the only thing I'm not understanding about that explanation then, is why it didn't work before I implemented IForgeItem, but current works after Implementing it. Was I missing an import or something?

Because these are not the same:

public void onArmorTick(World world, LivingEntity entity, ItemStack itemStack) {

public void onArmorTick(ItemStack itemStack, World world, PlayerEntity entity) {

This is why you use @Override. Your method does nothing, because it doesn't override anything.

 

Ah, that explains it, thank you Draco.
